424 Summers Pl, Portsmouth, VA 23702

Why this home stands out

Homes this close to Norfolk Naval Shipyard rarely come with four bedrooms and more than 2,000 square feet of living space. Built in 1948, 424 Summers Place carries the solid construction and generous room proportions of mid-century residential building — the kind of bones that hold up decade after decade. Add a half-bath on top of two full baths and you have a layout that genuinely works for a busy household.

HIGHLAND BILTMORE and the Portsmouth real estate market

424 Summers Place sits in Portsmouth, Virginia — one of Hampton Roads' most historically rooted cities and a place that rewards people who look past the surface. Portsmouth proper hugs the western bank of the Elizabeth River, directly across from downtown Norfolk, and its neighborhoods reflect more than three centuries of American shipbuilding and naval history. The area around Summers Place is a working, lived-in part of the city: mature tree canopies, modest lot sizes, and streets where neighbors actually know each other. Portsmouth homes for sale in this zip code — 23702 — tend to attract buyers who prioritize commute time and square footage over zip-code prestige, and that trade-off pays off quickly when your drive to work is measured in minutes rather than highway exits. The city itself offers waterfront parks, a revitalized Olde Towne district, and ferry service to Norfolk — all adding up to a lifestyle that feels connected without being crowded.
